Venue: Vicarage Road (21577 seats)

Season ticket holders at Vicarage Road haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Watford languishing in the 17th position so far. The guesting Newcastle United will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

It's no vacation for neither Watford nor Newcastle United as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Watford are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. For Newcastle United most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.

Newcastle United form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Newcastle United so far with only 17 points returning home. The records show 5-2-10 (win-draw-lose).

It might be tough going out on the road again for Newcastle United, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-5 versus Manchester City (placed 2nd). Ahead of that game was the 2-2 draw at home against West Ham United.

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Manchester City was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.

Newcastle are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, one draw and two defeats. From a total of five matches.

After this away game Newcastle return home for a Premier League game against Tottenham Hotspur. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Newcastle have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 17 league away games 17 goals have been scored. For Newcastle, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Newcastle United - Watford 1-1. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Watford six wins, two draws and Newcastle United two victories. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less.
